We've been running it (the sag press) all year. The key is to transition out of it and get quickly into our man coverage.

They were just running a trapping three-quarter court press. We saw from (Wednesday) that if we could get the ball to the middle, we could break it down.

Frankly, I was surprised at how generous the Japanese press has been to the idea of a foreigner running Sony.

I've really been hitting the weights, doing the bench press and working my legs. And I've been running a lot more. You need more endurance to pitch from farther (out).

They played us tough. We couldn't seem to get a spark.

Our defense saved us. After the first quarter, we weren't scoring, but we weren't allowing them to score either.
